Avatar director James Cameron discloses why he threw out script for sequel. Here's what he says

Even after taking a year to write, James Cameron admitted that the whole screenplay for Avatar 2 was rejected because he wasn't satisfied with it.

Following 13 years and approximately $2.85 billion (£2.5 billion) in box office revenue, Avatar: The Way of Water will be released in December.

Cameron recently remarked that he got down with his writers to start Avatar 2, and he said they cannot make the second one until they understand why the first part of the series performed so well.


He said that they have to figure out exactly what happened.
On being asked what were the findings of the research, James Cameron's team conducted, he said that all movies, however, function on many levels. The first section is on the surface and includes the character, issue, and solution. The second one has a theme. However, Avatar also affects the subconscious, or third level, according to the filmmaker.

Director James Cameron said that he had completed a full script and then while re-reading it he realized that it did not reach level three. That’s when he restarted the script.



When asked about working on scripts for 13 years just to scrap them, director James Cameron responded that he was also away doing deep-ocean exploration for a bit.

After a preview of Avatar 2 was made available in August, the movie was immediately dubbed "the most outrageously complicated movie ever filmed."

The sequel's lead actor Kate Winslet, who co-stars with Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver, previously disclosed that she broke Tom Cruise's record for underwater filming by holding her breath for 7 minutes, 14 seconds.
